stated by the chairman with respect to the more
appropriate course OF procedure. 1t appears to me
as has been minated that We are not prepared at
This time TO take appropriate action in respect OF
the decease OF our late brother. We can do one
thing, however. We can pass resolution TO at
tend his funeral, which am told takes place at 3
O'Clock, and we can adjourn the meeting to f,l-
ture day-let us say at the end OF the week. pre-
sumo Saturday Will perhaps be the best time.
therefore move that we attend Mr. Norris funeral
to-day at o'clock; that committee be appointed
by the chairman to draft suitable resolutions
commemorative OF our respect and esteem and az
lection for our brother, and that this meeting be
adjourned until Saturday next at O'Clock.
